Galaxy of Adventures is ushering in a new generation of fans, and we’re ushering in memories of the mall as we find the perfect way to describe the importance of John Williams.

This is episode 187 and true to form, it’s a killer! People have come to a lot of conclusions about John Williams’ contributions to film and especially Star Wars, but we think we pretty much nail it in this episode. If that’s not enough for you to listen, we also talk about Star Wars Galaxy of Adventures and the turning point for new content, as well as some choice memories of hanging at the mall in the 90s. The Star Wars Party starts NOW! It’s time for Brews and Blasters.

Born from the discussions between two friends at a local pub in the historic town of Salem, Massachusetts, Brews and Blasters is your chance to kick back, relax and then enjoy everything about that galaxy far, far away. Your hosts, Chris Salton (founder, The Collectors Hutt) as well as Joe Tavano (founder and editor in chief, RetroZap) sit down every week to do what would be doing anyway–talk about all things Star Wars, tell some stories, and of course, have a good time. Join Joe and Chris as they share their love for Star Wars, the most obscure Star Wars characters, Boston’s North Shore, 1980s pop culture and delicious food, and occasionally talk to fascinating people–and friends, like an anthropomorphic packet of crystallized lime.
